on myway to the northern meet last night, n needed some fuel so i stopped off at the bp in birchwood. waiting behind a car that was getting fuel, when all of a suddern everyone ran back to their cars inc the people who were working at the garage, so i thought this is a bit odd. anyway there was two securitas vans there two which by my shock were being robbed by armed robbers obviously wearing balaclarvers etc. was in shock as i did not expect this to happen at all, so shut my door n locked it. as i watched these stupid men swing about sorn off shot guns etc then sped off in a seat leon cupra :censored:
you wouldn't even think this would happen to you but it does and its something that will remain in my memory for a very long time.

christ thats harsh man, its happenin everywhere. the other week in my quiet little seaside town with about 15 shops and a post box there was an armed robbery in my branch of barclays. two fellas jumped a security cash bloke and sprayed him in the eyes with ammonia, they got away in a sierra. dunno wot type but u kind of thing cossie or at least xr4. feckin tea leaf skum!

What colour or age Leon was it mate?

It seems Leons are increasingly becoming high on the criminal hitlist.

It must've been bloody scary!

it was the new model and it was at a mx 4years old and in a bold red too

i used to work at a petrol station and i was shot at 3 times and i swear down when they say bullet proof glass is bullet proof...........don't believe them

holy s**t!
lucky u werent involved mate, aslong as your calm and dont make any sudden movements they'll leave u alone, i've had past unpleasant experiences similiar to that, one involved a shop being robbed and me in the queue waiting to be served

best thing is to let em get on with it!

I was once involved in a robbery. fortunatly it they werent armed otherwise i think the outcome may have been a little different (they didnt get the money )

still, things like that can s**t you up.

!!!! OIMG i was in that petrol station about 30 mins ago :O i work in birchwood wow
any way next time myour in the area gimme a shout i live in warrington

sounds real bad!

i don't think shutting ur door n locking it is going to keep a sorn off shot gun at bay!

i not know about that if you watch some of them "Dumest Crimes Ever" show type thing then you will know that most doors are a unsolved problem to there get away they can't seem to get the idea of pulling instead of pushing

Armed robberies are common in Brasil these days. I've never been involved in one but most people have robbery stories to tell.

In a situation like this all you can do is keep calm and, most importantly, DO NOT REACT in any way.

when i was 13 i saw some bloke nick a handbag from a car and that scarred me for life:))

i get scared walkin past the humungous groups of chavs in streets who a re constantly argueing and shouting at ppeople and gettin in fights with em, i think i would deffinetely soil myself if i was at that petrol station!
